Best stroller I have ever owned,
I have had my stroller for a few months now. I love it still. I have owned the Graco travel system, a BoB stroller, a MacLaren Triumph and borrowed a friends Stokke stroller for several months. The Contours Options 3 Wheeler is my favorite. I have an older child (3 years old) with physical hardships.
*I love that she can get in and out when she feels like walking.
*I LOVE THAT THE HANDLE BAR IS HIGH, as I’m 5’10 and hate bending over a lot for other strollers. This stroller has a wide wheel base in the back, which is great because I don’t kick it. There have been a few times it’s been hard to get through clothes racks at the store, but other than that it’s fine. It did take me a few times using it to adjust to the width.
*I love how easily it pushes regardless if the front wheel is locked.
*My daughter loves her own cup holder, as do I. I love that the parent tray is sturdy with 2 drink holders and a middle pocket. I wish it had a locked cover like the Jeep jogging stroller, but it’s not an issue.
* The storage basket is easy to access and big.
*It was easy to assemble with directions and common sense.
* I LOVE LOVE LOVE that the sunshade is tall and my daughters head doesn’t touch it.
*I get compliments on the look/style often. It looks and functions like a high end stroller yet it doesn’t break the bank account.
Overall, I have used and abused my stroller and it has held up really well. I wish this was the first stroller I ever bought. I have highly recommended it to many friends as well.

|Decent but not great,
Plusses:
~ Absolutely darling, great color and design (I get compliments all the time!)
~ Good directional controls, i.e. you can turn quickly and easily
~ Rear & Front facing options, which is a big bonus
Minusses:
~ Awful to put together (unhelpful & confusing b/w photos in manual)
~ Wheels look pneumatic (rubber tires filled with air), but they are really a hard plastic with a thin rubber stripe in the center
~ Not a super-smooth ride because of hard wheels
~ Stops short on uneven curbs (can’t “climb” a ledge more than 2″)
Overall, not a bad stroller, but I could see some easy improvements from the manufacturer, beginning with the manual. I came from using the Jeep Liberty stroller which was super for climbing curbs & ledges because it had real pneumatic tires. I was disappointed that this didn’t ride better, but I’m supposing it’s mainly because of these cheaper tires. It’s just going to be something to get used to.

|(Pictures posted) Terrific value compared to other similar style strollers, but…,
… is it better than our 5 year old Graco Metrolite?
First of all, after unpacking the box, you’ll realize there are 17 pieces you have to put together by snapping and/or securing with screws. Fortunately, one simple screwdriver does the trick and the whole assembly took around 30 minutes. (I will note that I am used to assembling lots of things from furniture to small engine yard machines.) All the pieces were present in the box and there were even some screws/pins given as extras.
The stroller is quite sturdy and moves around very easily. The frame will even stand by itself when folded since it can balance on it’s third wheel.
Some of the good features of this stroller:
1. Two cup holders and tray for the adult, one cup holder for the kid.
2. The handle bar can be reached easily by TALL people.
3. The universal car seat holder fit my Graco Snugride just fine.
4. It’s easy to pop out the universal car seat holder and the Contour seat from the frame.
5. Underseat basket has good clearance from the ground.
6. The metal and fabric on this stroller are all sturdy and nice with good stitching/high quality.
7. Canopy has a small clear window on top so you can see your kid from behind (it has a closeable flap).
Some of the less-than-good features:
1. There are essentially 3 separate main parts to the stroller, the frame, Contour seat, universal car seat holder – this takes up a lot of space. In fact, just the frame and Contour seat take up the whole trunk of my Highlander.
2. The belt buckle for the car seat holder snaps together easily, but is hard to adjust the length. Unfortunately, the strap length needs to be adjusted if you want to flip the car seat front versus rear facing.
3. The handle bar is not adjustable.
4. The brake bar is easy to use, but is secured by a total of 4 screws to a piece of plastic… we’ll see how long this lasts.
5. If you valet check-in this stroller at the airport, I predict the Contour seat will not withstand the luggage abuse very well.
6. The canopy does not extend very far, your kid is going to get a lot of sun exposure.
Compared to other strollers that are many hundreds of dollars more, this is a terrific value. It’s stylish, works well, and is well built with many good features. For a value conscience shopper, this stroller blows away it’s more expensive rivals. But our Graco Metrolite will continue to be placed in our Highlander.. why? It’s smaller (takes up only half the trunk floor space), a little lighter, and does not require you to take it apart to fold up. You pull it out, unfold it, and there is your complete stroller. From out of the trunk to the ground, there is no comparison in the time it takes to setup the Metrolite compared with the Contour stroller. And while I like the more beefy and sturdier Contour stroller very much, it’s the kind of stroller I’d use for neighborhood walks, or pack in a minivan. Otherwise, the Metrolite is just a more convenient stroller to take around in the car and/or use at the airport.
